Making its North American debut at the 2011 Los Angeles Auto Show, the Honda Insight received a major update for the 2012 model year. The five-door, five-passenger dedicated hybrid (i.e. not a hybrid version of gas-powered model) improves fuel economy, receives comfort and styling upgrades and adds more premium features on the higher trims – while continuing to be one of the most affordable hybrids on the market.

TrueDrive: 2011 Kia Optima Hybrid

When the first Kia Optima sedan debuted in the United States in 2000, it was nothing more than a rebadged Hyundai Sonata, which didn’t carry much panache at the time, as Korean sister makes, Kia and Hyundai, were both emerging brands in the United States. Forget anything you might remember about the Kia vehicles of yore: the attractive new 2011 Optima has erased any traces of its mediocre beginnings, replacing them with a high-quality sedan featuring stylish looks, high levels of content and technology, class-leading fuel economy, and an industry-leading warranty. When it was launched at the 2010 Los Angeles Auto Show, Kia promised that its first-ever hybrid would be a well-equipped four-door sedan that would not sacrifice style, comfort, performance, or value for fuel efficiency.

Will the vehicle take away from Prius sales or will Toyota be able to attract new customers because of the Lexus brand and luxuries not available in the Prius?

Toyota unveiled the new 2012 Prius Plug-in Hybrid last week at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Starting in March 2012, the new Prius Plug-in hatchback will be sold in 14 initial states (California, Oregon, Washington, Arizona, Maine, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Maryland and Virginia) ahead of a full nationwide launch in 2013.
